Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag has won the toss and elected to bat first against the Delhi Capitals in Match 43 of the Indian Premier League 2026. The game will start at 07:30 pm IST.
"We will bat first. It is not a useful Jaipur wicket. It looks dry, and the batting will be tough in the second innings, so we are batting first. Everyone is stepping up, and hopefully we can play good cricket for 40 overs," Riyan Parag said.
DC skipper Axar Patel wanted to bowl first.
"It would have bowled first had I won the toss. The wicket is looking good for bowling, and hopefully we will restrict them. It is important to stay in the present. Your body language matters a lot," he said.
